I'm doing a refresh on my 2009 FLHTC 96" with 100,000 miles. I have acquired new take off 103 heads cylinders and pistons. I also have a new Andrews 21h that I never got around to installing.
( I'm looking to far and I don't need to be the first one there)
I don,t think my engine has ever seen 4500 rpm. ( 3000 rpm 6th gear 80 mph is more than fast enough for this old guy )
Should I use the 21h ?

The 48H woukd be a much better choice for the newer heads etc. The 21H was designed for the tc88. But then you already have them.

Thanks 60Gunner.... I purchased the 21h as I thought they were a mild bolt in for the 96" and I wouldn't have to do any tuning. I just never got around to installing them. Now that everything is apart, I wouldn't want to use them if it's going to cause any problems. Better to keep the stock cam, or find something more appropriate. I'm not looking to go crazy, but I would consider an alternate cam with more lower end humph....
As you suggested, I will take at the 48H.
Thanks again,
Mike
